Georgetown: A $32M petting zoo will be constructed as part of a Zoological Park’s modernization master plan that is expected to cost US$11M.
The Contractor is Alvin Chowramootoo and construction begins Wednesday. It is set to last five months.
Currently, about 33,000 visits are made to the park monthly.
The Zoological Park’s children’s area situated near the Nature School will be transformed into an educational complex for children.
The petting zoo is based on a roughly circular design with an all-weather walkway made out of paving stones around a central semi-aquatic enclosure.
The petting zoo design includes wash stations for visitors, grazing space, and exercise areas at the back. Owing to the 2005 flood, the petting zoo will be raised three-feet above the existing ground level. This will allow the petting zoo to be drained quickly reducing maintenance costs and improving sanitation.
